THE first large solar farm in the Portsmouth area is up and running
A total of 18,500 solar panels have been installed on 35 acres of farmland off Day Lane, Lovedean.
Lightsource Renewable Energy developed the project and will own and operate the plant for the next 25 years.
The solar farm will harness sunlight to produce around 4,600 megawatt hours of power per year – enough to supply around 1,350 homes.
Plans were approved by East Hampshire District Council last December.
